Corrupted (Male Reader x Charlie) (BOOK 1)

Moving Out

The halls echoed his footsteps. Still amazed, Y/N walked through the hotel, truly appreciating it. Every creak, every smell, every different shade of color seemed spectacular to him. However something was missing from it. He just couldn't tell yet. He entered that same elevator door that he had ridden so many times, getting used to the unusual time it took to reach your designated floor, now Y/N couldn't wait to enter the lobby. The doors opened and revealed a barren hotel lobby.

Now, the furniture and décor was there, but no actual life. All the people who lived at the hotel were not there. Y/N was alone. They had left him.

"Uh, I knew this would happen!" Y/N yelled, punching a wall, and leaving a fist sized hole in the wall. He then took a step back, and calmed himself down. 'There has to be a logical explanation, right?' he thought, looking around for any clues of where they went, but there was nothing. It's like they vanished. "Well, if I ruined my reputation here, they probably don't want me here" he said out loud, getting back into the elevator to pack up his things and leave.

Y/N just grabbed a bag and shoved anything he wanted for the road in it. He didn't know exactly where he was going, but he was going after Reaper. He looked up for the nearest city and decided to start there. He was probably someone every demon hated in Pentagram City, so it would better to start fresh. He grabbed the rest of his things and headed to the lobby.

He walked by Charlie's office and reflected on everything that occurred in there. A simpler time. Charlie slowing unraveling Y/N's secrets, the confession of love, and overall bonding. But atlas, it was all for nothing. In the end, it didn't matter how close they got together, HE would be alone in the end.

He walked by the couch which a lot of things occurred around. When Y/N first met the Hazbin crew, he was on that couch. When they were preparing for their first fight against Reaper, they were next to the couch. The past always seemed to haunt him, another reason to start fresh.

He then saw the piano. The one that belonged to Alastor. That crazy overlord that engineered him to kill. Not exactly him, but encouraged it nonetheless. Y/N touched the seat, gliding his fingers across it, feeling the wood and its flaws. This is where he was before Reaper attacked once more. 'Well, I might as well finish my song before I leave' he thought, before sitting on the bench and beginning to play.

As soon as Y/N finished that final note, and ending the song. Ending his time at the Hazbin Hotel, where he was taken in and started to fit in with a demon family of sorts, he heard an audible gasp that was very quiet. He assumed it was just wind, and sighed. He grabbed his bag and turned around and headed to the door. However, he immediately stopped as the entire Hazbin crew was staring at him with shock.

'Great. Confrontation. Just what I needed' he thought, assuming their feelings toward him after his 'death'. "Don't worry, I'm leaving and I won't cause any more harm in the city" he said, trying to be peaceful. He headed pass them when he felt a hand grab his shoulder. He turned his head to see it was Charlie, with a little bit of tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

"Y/N?" she said.

Y/N stood their still, awaiting the next room. He glanced at the ground and saw Vaggie and Angel blocked the door behind him, providing no easy escape.

"I don't want you to leave. But how are you..." she said, her voice and body shaking.

Y/N didn't know if this was real or not, but he knew one thing for a fact. Charlie's fear and joy was real, she couldn't fake that. Maybe he assumed wrong.

He dropped the bag and the two hugged tightly, with Charlie being happy that Y/N didn't leave, and Y/N was happy to be wrong. He assumed the worst in his friend's because that was everyone else's reaction, but not them.

"Knew you couldn't stay down" Alastor said, trying to relive the moment from all the sadness.

Before Y/N knew what was happening, Charlie pushed him onto the couch.

"I love you Y/N. What happened doesn't make me think any different of you. Could you just explain to us please?" she said, and Y/N grew a smile, after a hard depressing hour, he was happy.

Y/N relaxed on the couch, knowing this would be a long conversation.

"So, what do you want to know?"
